V Leeds

[TrianonDave]

A must win just like Wolves game last year and im going for the same score 4-1. Their fans are not confident and worried about their defence however, Jack is out!
Whelan to play again?

I’m with you on this Dave, although DS finally has the option of a fit Birkir.

We do need a spark to link a front line without Jack, O’Hare anyone?

[TrianonDave]

Must be on the front foot today, i think this game has goals but seriously we need the win, the Gap now is getting like the Wolves / Cardiff sceanrio of last year.

Ive always said if we can be top 6 by the NY then im happy!

Must Win today..

I heard a lot of good things about that lad. Personally I think we should play Abraham up front by himself, El Ghazi on the right, bolassie on the left, Hourihane and McGinn sharing the number 10 spot throughout the game and jedi or Bjarnson as the holding midfielder

Bree as centre back! Fingers crossed for the lad... they've got Roofe and Forshaw playing who are dangerous. Hope Nyland doesn't take the view that he will automatically be replaced in the next game so he doesn't need to perform.

Another 5-5 coming up?

How disappointing was that. I watched it at work and a bloke said to me at half time do I bet. I said no but if I was a betting man I would put money on Leeds making a comeback saying we concede goals for fun.
I should have put a bet on

Shocking second half. Blues fans must be in hysterics.

[Exiledvillan]

Can’t let our pathetic defence take any credit away from how well Leeds played today. Yes we gifted them the game, but their scintillating brand of football took full advantage of our misgivings.

We all know that our defence is p1ss poor and our keeper has been like a ‘rabbit in the headlights’ since day 1. His nervousness runs down the spine of those in front of him.

Chester’s positioning and distribution is shocking, as in fairness, baggieal has always said so. Even Pullis wouldn’t play him, and he knows a thing or two about defenders (nowt else though).

As mentioned before, why oh why does Hutton always give the wide men a run on him. They always seem to have acres of space when they receive the ball.

Bree seems shot of confidence, hardly surprising given his opportunities.

Elmo? Don’t wanna comment!

As for the ‘noses’ Joy Division, I’d say they’re pig sick that they got well and truly owned by half a team, as were your lot, despite the efforts of the Harlem Globetrotter who threw in that last minute basket. .

Have a good Xmas JD, you have, at the moment, more reason to be optimistic for the New Year than us.
Keep well squire.
